If you liked 2018’s 20XX, or are a MegaMan fan who hasn’t had their thirst for a proper installment in the series quenched in quite some time, 30XX might just be the sequel you’ve been waiting for. Recently, Batterystaple Games took to Steam to create a page for their new installment in the 20XX franchise, 30XX. The official website for the game reads: “Jump, shoot, and slash your way through 30XX, the roguelike action platformer you can play with a friend! Explore lush, ever-changing worlds that mix precise platforming with fevered combat. Destroy fearsome Guardians. Master unique Powers. Rediscover the thousand years we've lost.” Sign me up.

In a game inspired by iconic spy franchises like James Bond, Jason Bourne, and others - Operation: Tango looks to bring a co-op twist when it arrives on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 with a spy like experience.

Most of the titles being previewed and released lately have fallen within the parameters of what I expect from a video game.  Orc slaying, kart racing, etc.  Occasionally, though, a game is unearthed that I've never quite seen before and didn't know I wanted.

Zen Studios have announced a sequel to the 2013 action strategy game, CastleStorm called CastleStorm II, the new title adds a host of new features that create a deeper experience for players. But don't worry folks, it's not "completely different." Best of all, like the previous game, the campaign can be enjoyed with a friend by your side for co-op play.

The wait for Phantasy Star Online 2 has been a long one, depending on a gamer’s platform of choice. After first appearing in Japan in 2012, PSO2 finally arrived as a temporary Xbox exclusive back in March of this year. PC gamers will soon be able to get in on the Japanese-style MMORPG action, as Sega has officially announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 launches on Windows 10 on May 27.

Combo Co-Op, if you didn't know, is the ability to mix a co-op game with both local and online players at the same time. It's one of the only features Streets of Rage 4 doesn't support out of the box. Thanks to Twitter user @SolKeizer26 though - we've found a workaround to at least get 3 players going in remote play on PS4.

Streets of Rage 4 is out today, the first true Streets game in 26 years. You can read our review of Streets of Rage 4 right here, needless to say, we've been thrilled. If you prefer more of the visual review though, we've got that below. Last night Mike and Nick jumped into the two player co-op online action taking the game for a spin in Arcade, Boss Rush and even Battle modes. 

The synths kick in as the neon lights reflect off the city streets, slowly the drums add to the atmosphere. From off screen strolls a a gruff man with long blond hair and an ere of anger in his stride. Soon the screen is filled with a gang intent on being served justice...with your fists. It's a familiar scene for gamers who grew up in the 90s ...

Sega's phenomenal co-op strategy game, Total War: Shogun 2, may not have been lost to time, but it's certainly fallen a bit by the wayside in light of Sega's more recent iterations on the Total War franchise.  Thanks to the current pandemic, though, it's been given one more shot at the limelight.

It's been nearly nine years since Saints Row: The Third glimpsed a world in which the eponymous Saints had reached celebrity status, and what a world it was.  Luckily, we no longer have to daydream about such a place (or bust out our old consoles to explore it), because Saints Row: The Third Remastered is releasing on May 22nd.

Sony is joining the fight against Corona, enticing gamers to stay home and play games instead of going out in the world risking spread of the disease. Wow, that just sounds bad. But welcome to 2020 folks. 

Adorable co-op puzzler, Biped, wobbled itself onto PC in March of this year, leaving console gamers pining for their chance to guide the game's cute lil' robots.  As it so happens, the wait is already almost over, as the game is releasing on PlayStation 4 tomorrow (April 8th).
